How does OFDMA work in 5G?

With OFDMA, multiple users are assigned access to subsets or subcarriers . The ability to tap into smaller segments of the frequency spectrum with timed functionality will become even more important in 5G, where data will travel on millimeter waves.7 Nis 2017

Does 5G use SC FDMA?

Unlike LTE, 5G NR also supports CP-OFDM in the uplink direction. But LTE’s discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM) uplink scheme, better known as single carrier frequency division multiplex (SC-FDMA), is still a valid access scheme and support is mandatory for any 5G terminal.

What modulation is 5G?

Phase shift keying: 5G technology implements quadrature phase shift keying, QPSK as the lowest order modulation format. Although this will provide the slowest data throughput it will also provide the most robust link and as such it can be used when signal levels are low or when interference is high.

Why is CP-OFDM used in 5G?

5G NR CP-OFDM chain It is intended for MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output). They are like Gold sequences as used in PDSCH. CP-OFDM offers very high spectral packing efficiency in RBs (Resource blocks). It is employed when network operators need to maximize network capacity in dense urban environments .
